Is anyone using the Laser-ROM version of manuals and SSB's for HP-UX (or
MPE, for that matter)? My company is considering purchase for our 825,
and we want to hear about other companies' experiences. 

Specifically:

1.  Is Laser-ROM best used as a supplement to the printed manual set, or 
can it REPLACE one or more of the manual sets?

2.  When will Laser-ROM become a distribution media for HP-UX software
updates? How does/will the speed of update via Laser-ROM compare to mag
tape or 9144?


Any comments and/or subjective opinions will be appreciated.
